Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 large lemon (zest and juice (about 3 tablespoons juice))
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Chopped parsley (for serving)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and pound chicken if some parts are too thick so the pieces are even in thickness. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and toss well to combine. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the chicken on the grill for 5-7 minutes. Use tongs to flip over and cook on the other side for 5-7 more minutes, or until juices run dry.
- Remove chicken from the grill. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
